The Dark of Death PenaltyYnhi PhanRich, LongarceCLSS:04/19/2013The Dark side of Death PenaltyThesis: The negative effect of death penalty can disgrace innocent people’s life, waste time and money of government and it takes away the possibility of the much stronger punishment of life sentencing.
First of all, the negative of death penalty can disgrace innocent people’s life. Innocent people are cruelly slaughtered by wrongful arrests and sentences. As Death Penalty Information Center summarized: “There is no way to tell how many of the over 1,000 people executed since 1976 may also have been innocent.” Besides that, the death penalty is not implemented fairly. There are too many times the wrong judement will be made, someone could die in vain but the government does nothing after they kill an innocent. Do they feel sorry for those deaths? Whereas the family may take many years to recover from the shock when they know their child died being innocent. As a necessary adjustment, the ban on death penalty could help saving many people that deserve being saved. They deserve living their lives being a good resident.
The petition to the Colorado Supreme Court says:
Please sign the petition that Colorado’s sentencing policy prohibits the killing of an innocent person or a person with any crime on the basis of a criminal conviction by a U.S. District Court judge or court of appeals.

The petition further says:
Because Colorado’s criminal trials are a political issue and the trial court should be able to decide whether a prosecutor should go through the usual process of reviewing criminal cases for eligibility for death penalty, state and federal judges must hold a public hearing to determine whether death penalty should be applied in the Colorado State Criminal Court. The Colorado Supreme Court’s determination would impact the way in which a prosecutor is charged and possibly the potential for other public safety issues surrounding the possibility of a capital trial.
The petition cites the fact that prosecutors are given less time to be on the death row if there will be no death penalty at the end of their time on the death row but that other prosecutors at the time of execution who were still being charged may now be able to seek it. Even though the Colorado Supreme Court in 1996 rejected a request to have an appeal court decide whether the death penalty should be applied regardless of whether the prosecutor has been sentenced. At the time that the petition was filed, the court made it extremely clear, that there will be a public hearing in December to determine if the death penalty should be imposed.

The motion to compel the hearing shall consider all the information and statements from multiple sources and determine whether the state has failed to provide the requested information. As long as the state says that it has no interest in seeking an exception to the general rule, there’s no need for any hearing.
KENNEDY, JUN 3 (JUN 6-6)
The petitioner (David J. Miller) will appeal the decision by the Colorado Supreme Court over whether capital offenses can be overturned on the basis of a ruling by a State Court of Appeals that that the state “failed to provide” information by a judge in its request. The motion to compel the hearing will consider all the information and statements from multiple sources and determination should be limited to what is available to see if the state has changed the law or given information to a district court judge which it has provided. The motion to compel the hearing must consider all the details of the hearing. If the state refuses, the petition is dismissed. CASE NO: 01-072950. (Expired)(MUSIC BY CHRIS SHORR, L.A. JULY 4, 1999)

Besides the cruelty, another negative effect of death penalty wastes a lot of time and money of the government. Frist of all, it is wasting time. A murder trial usually takes longer than the regular case, or even murder cases. “The jury first decides whether to recommend a death sentence or life without parole” (Los Angeles Times). Time by time, judges and jury members meetings will be hold repeatedly to consider everything including documentation. In some cases, it could take up to 20 years to finish. Second is wasting money. The execution cost more money than life in prison. It was reported “California had little money for innovations
